Half engaging freestyles and battle raps, and half album filler,
Bring the Beat Back was 17-year-old
Steady B's debut release. Standout tracks like "Get Physical," "Stupid Fresh" and, most notably, the title song itself, established
Steady as an up-and-coming lyricist. But with its corny dance tunes ("Do the Fila") and lightweight novelty songs ("Yo Mutha" and "Cheatin' Girl"),
Bring the Beat Back is a mixed bag. ~ Mtume Salaam
